►► Download FREE Guide → How I lost 2 lbs a week as an athlete with asthma: https://www.athletewithasthma.com/healthy-living-guide Are you spending too much time training the wrong parts of HYROX? Most athletes focus on shaving seconds off individual stations when the biggest gains actually come from improving their running strategy. In this video, I share why I believe many HYROX athletes are losing minutes without realizing it and how a simple shift in training can dramatically improve race performance. Drawing from my experience as an ultra-marathon runner, 100K race winner, and athlete living with asthma for over 30 years, I'll walk you through the mindset and strategy that helped me complete my first HYROX simulation in under an hour with zero specific HYROX training. In this episode you'll learn: Why running is the biggest opportunity to improve your HYROX time The common training mistake that costs athletes valuable minutes When to push hard and when to recover during the race How pacing affects your overall finish time Why confidence at each station matters more than chasing personal records Whether you're preparing for your first HYROX, racing doubles, or chasing a new personal best, these principles can help you race smarter, conserve energy, and perform at your highest level.
